It's been a while - inkle bookmarks

It has been a while (over 2 years) since I last posted. In part because I haven't had time to weave too much - although all most of my looms have warps on. The good news is that I'm scheduled to take early retirement in a year's time. Time to weave, at last!

Anyway in 2008 I did weave some inkle bookmarks for an internet exchange and since I rather like some of them I thought I'd share here.

Some pics of work in progress:


My favourite is based on a Peruvian tablet weaving pattern I think I saw on Linda Hendrickson's excellent website

There were 15 different pick-up patterns in the end:




In case anyone is interested, the loom is a rather nice floor inkle by Thomas Creations -

Lovely designs! And that loom is great - I was inspired to email Thomas Creations - it's not a bad price either, but shipping to the UK is not cheap (and I suspect import duty on top).. I am going to wait until I'm a little more flush.

Your patterns are beautiful though.

Absolutely gorgeous tablet weaving! I have to and see if I can find the pattern in the site you mentioned... Or, could you possibly share the pattern with me? *smiling hopefully*
